Hi VinnyinNJ, (sorry for my late reply) Thank you for sharing such a detailed and insightful explanation of the different disinfectants used in hot tubs and the importance of maintaining a rigorous disinfection routine. Your experience and practical advice offer a valuable perspective...

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate and understand many of the points you've made, and I plan to consult with my specialist on my next visit this week. That being said, it seems there may have been a misunderstanding or oversight regarding my primary concern. I'm not questioning the safety...

Sorry to hear about your wife :( I have a tiny idea what she must be going through... Good to know your finding the dichlor/bleach method and aquaclarity works.. are you doing ahhsome purge (gel?) then weekly aquaclarity? How often do you change the water/purge?

thanks for your reply! Noted on sanitzer, I am doing my best, but without SWG it's hard to keep up. (think travel, hurricanes, torrential rain, sickness etc). Might have to consider Bromine but that just seems like more stuff & $ and still have to add chlorine weekly.

Hi Ahhsomeguy, Thank you for your response and for your attention to my past usage of Ahh-some products. While I appreciate the importance of proper maintenance practices, my main concern revolves around the potential link between benzalkonium chlorides (BACs) and antibiotic resistance. I've...

Hello everyone, I've been using Ahh-some products (gel and Aqua Clarity) to purge and maintain my prior hot tubs. Recently, I was diagnosed with infections caused by Pseudomonas and Mycobacterium Abscessus (MAC), and I've been undergoing treatment with multiple antibiotics. I've come across...

Thanks for the reply! I probably should have mentioned the tub had been filled and used for about a week.. when I took the filter out it was surprisingly dirty/discolored Thank you for the help, I much appreciate it. I probably should have mentioned that the hot tub had been used about 10days...

I am about to purge new A series tub and need to know if I should remove the simplicity filters and place them in the tub (as was the case with the round filters). Specifically, should I remove the filter from its housing and place in tub or leave in the housing with filter in the tub? I will...

Not bad.. if they added a specific aqua clarity they could then add a reminder.. right now I use a note but maybe your idea is better.

Awesome.. for me more important the aqua clarity/hot tub type but I hear others ask for Bromine so… figured I would mention it.

Cool thank you I wish PoolMath had a Hot Tub selection (with acrylic and bromine options), a option for “add Aqua clarity” when adding chemicals… and a reminder to add aqua clarity weekly (or a you haven’t added aqua clarity for X days) Maybe I should have created a new thread…

I have a bullfrog hot tub. Just pondering if “Tye of Pool” in poolmath should be fiberglass? I assume so, but figured it doesn’t hurt to ask the experts.

I tend to go into deep-end but somehow pulled back to simple.. this time. :)

I was concerned with flying objects/things hitting the top and damaging it.. there is an LCD panel and the acrylic.. minimally concerned with the hot tub moving but considered it as a possibility. Cap over the cover with sandbags did the trick.

Thank you all for the help regarding this.. In the end I decided to go with a hot tub cap/shield and light sandbags on top of that (the dealer's tech gave me that recommendation..) During the hurricane (turned tropical storm) the ends of the cap lifted a bit but no damage to the hot tub. The...

It’s pretty good but daily battle with elements/tree bird/sandy-loom dirt - no net/screen. Sigh

Yeah the TFP method seems to work so well I am not sure what additional percent I would obtain with this. I wish I had remembered to use the one I have prior to Black Friday sale.

Ahh-some's Black Friday 20% deals are here so I am considering stocking up on their Swimming Pool Water Clarifier & Bio-Cleaner (I already bought one but didn't get around to using it). Instructions say use monthly, sp with my pool size I would be using the whole 6oz container.. once a month at...

Thanks! I spoke to concrete guy and since we are extending a deck the hot tub is half on existing concrete he advised against drilling into that. So I could have these on one side but I don’t know that is worthwhile, maybe the rancher strap + wrap is sufficient…

The ratchet straps and pallet wrap sound perfect.. I assume pallet wrap the top to bottom (as far down as possible) and then ratchet straps to hold that all down? I havent used ratchet straps - would they dig into the corner of the cover and damage it as it is ratched down? The concrete...

Thanks so much @YippeeSkippy & @Toxophilite for your responses...

Thanks, I understand maybe not concrete anchors then. I think somewhat of a balance is needed, I can't account for all hurricanes; mostly high winds with the occasional lower level hurricane is my guess. Much more and I have bigger concerns :(

I think I will need both (wind and hurricane protection) then, thank you for pointing that out. Makes perfect sense now that you mention this :) I have a concrete guy coming out today so I will ask him what he suggests... it will have to be aesthetic and functional too..

Thanks! I am not familiar but will ask/google...

Not sure what of the many things discussed you are asking about... if I missed something let me know... In short.. I went with: Ahhsome Aquaclarity for Purge and maintenance The dichlor/bleach option method... cheapest in P-A-P store I don't know which brand-if you need it I can look. 303...

Oh I think I know what you mean the threaded insert / bolt is in the deck.. but being flush it can't be hit.. yeah that's what you said I think.... 40lbs weight on the hot tub cover? That would damage the cover wouldn't it? Sorry I am trying to grasp this and not too mechanical so I find it...

Got it, but bolts 6 inches aprat would likely be a daily injury risk with people walking into them, kicking/stubbing their toes and then there is the aesthetics.... meaning I am getting major kickback on the bolt to deck idea :(

I searched the forum and just found 2 threads.. one with a question but no answer and the other to a specific product. My question is more general. Is there any product that is safe (for Chlorine hot tub/filter and humans) and that actually is therapeutic? Thank you

Thanks - it is a stand alone hot tub sitting on the pool deck. I figured if a strap was completely wrapped around the hot tube the weight of it (filled) would prevent movements, but the fabric/bolted to deck sounds like a solid solution.

I did a search but didn't see anything specific to this.. I understand the cover clips won't handle much wind. I am thinking of using a strap that can wrap around the entire hot tub. Does anyone have any thoughts or solution for this? Thanks!
